    Cream chipped beef on Texas toast.  Daily special
    Steve W.

    Back again. Had the special, creamed chipped beef on Texas toast with scrambled eggs and grits. Best chipped beef was amazing.

    Loukaniko with scrambled eggs, home fries, and a biscuit.

    Outstanding neighborhood restaurant with a comfortable feel serving Greek and American dishes. Friendly, efficient service and really satisfying meals make this place a must if you're on Shore Drive in Virginia Beach.

    Spinach, tomato, onion, feta omelette... with home-fries and rye toast.
    Sharon C.

    The food was wonderful, with great portions and quick fabulous service! I had the spinach, tomato, onion and feta omelet. It was a crepe style egg and then stuffed with a nice portion of spinach onion, tomato, and feta cheese. I also ordered extra crispy home-fries with onions and rye toast. Everything was made to perfection and service was pleasant and super fast! I can't wait to come back and try the other delicious looking menu items!

    Great food! Cute little diner off Shore Drive - folks were nice. Would recommend but small so you may have to wait a little for a table.

    Cornbeef Hash with grilled onions (onions added on)
    Fina K.

    Umm.. just a big WOW! This place is a treasure! I truly mean that! Set back from the street you easily pass it and takes a little effort to find parking, But folks it's all worth it! The decore is simple when you walk in, but soon as the waitress brings out the food plates my eyes and smile was ear to ear! The Lobster Beni was made perfect and very generous along with the home fries. The Cornbeef Hash was awesome added grilled onions on top. And it's so nice they can make it to order The Stuffed Berry French Toast was so stuffed with FRESH berries and they put even more on the side witj whip cream! I was so glad the owner "Milton" came by to see if everything was good! Cause I just wanted to tell him how fabulous my experience was! So for you foodies find this treasure and give it a try! Definitely will be back plenty of times!

    Inside seating.

    To me this is a locals spot. It is an ok size inside. Not a super big place but roomy enough that your not sitting right on top of another group. The wait staff are good. Not overly friendly but like I said a lot of locals go here so if you know them they talk to you more. They are good at taking your order and they get it right every time. Even when you put in special request. We have been a few times now. My bestie loves this place. This is her favorite place to go. I personally think the food is fine. The Classic eggs benedict is ok. Their sauce is not my favorite. I have a couple other places I like better. The omlette is good. House hashbrowns are ok. Bacon could be a little more crisp for my taste. But that is my preference. I do ask for extra crispy and they have done that but the first time I had it was wimpy. So you have to know to ask to make things crispy. I am not use to telling the chef how to cook everything I order. For me this is a solid 3 1/2. Food is a 4 or 4 1/2. Staff are a 3. Parking lot is small but we have not been when it is busy. I would NEVER go on a busy time. Ya know there is always room for improvement . So for now I I will stick with the 3 1/2 With room for improvement

    Sweet potato pancakes with corned beef hash

    We were camping at First Landing State Park and sought out a hidden little gem of a place for a quick but tasty breakfast. Milton's Cafe fit the bill. My husband had the Western omelet with home fries and rye toast and I had the sweet potato pancakes with corned beef hash. Both dishes were very good and service was great (we sat in the bar area). It's a small establishment with a big menu. Would highly recommend.

    Lobster and avocado omelette
    Mary-Ann L.

    The ambiance is downright homey, cozy, like what a neighborhood cafe should be - the owner sitting at the bar sharing pleasantries with customers. Service was quick and friendly. It wasn't on the menu but my friend got creative and asked if we can get lobster omelette. The waitress even said they can add avocado slices as well! The lobster omelette was delicious, generous chunks of lobster meat, very fresh avocados in the omelette.

We both got smoothies and they were large and tasted very very fresh with lots of fresh ingredients (not the watery ones you know only had some concentrate). Order at the counter and find your own seat-type place. Seating was mostly full but we lucked out with one available table that they had to bus and wipe down for us. The patio is really cute when the weather is warm.

My sister in law is a huge fan of old school hip hop and she was singing and having so much fun reading the menu. What I love is that they have vegan options and regular options. My brother's family is vegan and it can be challenging for him to find places he can order food for his family. I don't mind eating vegan, but it's nice when places can do both. You may not believe me but this vegan friendly spot has THE best bacon I've ever had... so don't sleep on them!! The guy who was there when we picked up the food was very gracious and accommodating, I am not sure if he was the owner but he seemed genuinely appreciative of our business and it's nice to feel that as a customer. I got the breakfast burrito - it was very good, full of root veg and eggs, I would have liked a little more sauce or salsa for some flavor dimension but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The salad that came with my breakfast burrito was very tasty and I added it to the burrito for some acid from the vinaigrette. I appreciated the side salad option because it can be so hard to get your veggies in while traveling. My husband and the kids got waffles, the waffle portion was great for the kiddos but left my husband wanting more. I also got The Warren G smoothie which was yummy.

All of a sudden a table of 6 sat next to us for her to attend and we got our plates removed while my husband was still pulling the food off his plate. Dishes weren't fully clean- I'm being told by my husband and son- and apparently a white hair and residual of soy sauce or something so dishwasher step up your game. I dunno man- 6 years ago we came and hated the service and the food was bland. We came today for our anniversary dinner with an attempt for redemption - service continued to suck, bartender was a bad @$$- food was better than last time. Oysters were clean- so maybe next time we will just sit in the bar. My kid said for the gen A - "overall bunions service; good food- vibe chill but What's the deal with all these flies inside !!!??? Bunions. I'm gunna rate this place a 6/7 ‍out of 10 but overall mid- def bunion service

My hubby ordered a classic staple on their menu - simple reuben with a sweet tea, while I decided to try something on their summer menu - A flatbread with watermelon mint drink. The flatbread consist of peaches, goat cheese, honey, basil and drizzle of balsamic vinegar. We both found out meals to be a good portion, leaving us full without be stuffed. My flatbread had a good balance of sweet from the peaches, a little salt from the cheese, and acidity of the vinegar. Our server was attentive; checking in with us and engaging. The only reason why I am rating this place a 4 is because: 1. The watermelon mint drink didn't taste like anything. The watermelon used to make the drink wasn't very sweet and didn't have any mint flavor. 2.
